mideastrider said:Either one would be a good harescramble bike. It could be raced as is and you certainly don’t have to spend this money before racing but there are a few things that could be done to make it a little more user friendly. You may want to drop one tooth off the front sprocket or at least add 2 to the back. Flywheel weight is always good. Hand guards and/or bark busters you’ll want for sure. Suspension maybe a little harsh on the roots and rocks but you can try a race or two before you spend that money. Skid plate that’s kind of a personal preference, provides a little insurance against frame and engine damage. Then of course there’s oversize fuel tank, steering stabilizer, exhaust system, carb tuning, brake snake and the list goes on. It all depends how serious and what level rider you are.
Been there done that! Old knees puts my butt on the seat eventually!:yikes:Rooster said:Agreed on the tips here, except for the need for a different seat. Train yourself! Keep the rock hard stock seat foam, put a really rough gripper cover on it, and you will automatically learn to ride harescrambles the proper way ... standing on the pegs. Or, you will need a five gallon bucket of diaper rash cream after every race, whichever you prefer.
